Problems Installing EMS Software
• What is the problem? If you have already installed EMS software
with a later version number than the version you are trying to
install, you may see errors similar to the following in the swinstall
logfile, /var/adm/sw/swagent.log:
ERROR A later revision (one with a higher
revision number) of fileset
EMS-Core.EMS-CORE,r=A.04.00.01
has already been installed.
Either remove this fileset
or change the allow_downdate option to
true.
• What is the workaround? If this occurs, choose to ignore the error
messages, change the “Enforce Dependency Analysis Errors” option
to False, and proceed with the installation. Serviceguard can safely
use the later EMS version.
NOTE Do not use -x allow_downdate=true as suggested by the error
message. This would over-write filesets installed on the system with
older filesets from the install media.
— To change the Enforce Dependency Analysis Errors through
the command line, you can invoke Software Distributor as
follows:
# swinstall -x enforce_dependencies=false
— To change the Enforce Dependency Analysis Errors through
the swinstall GUI, use the following procedure:
1. Cancel out of the Analysis.
